Multiple cops were seen on newly released body camera video drawing their guns on Jermall Charlo before his DWI arrest.
The intense situation unfolded in Pearland, Texas at around 6:39 p.m. on May 6, 2024, after the boxing star was accused of fleeing the scene of an accident in his 2020 Lamborghini Urus.
Pearland Police DepartmentPearland Police Department Members of the Pearland Police Department repeatedly ordered Charlo out of his vehicle, newly released body camera footage shows, but when he didn’t initially comply, they pulled out their firearms and aimed them at the famed pugilist. Charlo did get out of the car before the matter escalated, though at one point, he seemed to make officers nervous when he looked like he was going to go back into his vehicle.
Pearland Police Department “Don’t get back in the car! ” one policeman screamed as he trained his gun on Charlo’s back.
“Do not get back in the car! Listen to me! ” Charlo eventually complied with the officers’ orders, and when he dropped to the ground, they threw him in handcuffs. Charlo appeared dazed during his interaction with police, slurring his words and asking the cops repeatedly to “give me a chance.
” He later told one cop on the scene that he had not been involved in a car crash earlier in the evening. Police ultimately put the 34-0 fighter into the back of a patrol car and went on to search his vehicle, where they claimed they found three bottles of tequila — one sealed and two other empty ones.

Charlo was transported to a nearby jail, and during a DWI investigtaion there, police alleged in an incident report that he exhibited several signs of being intoxicated during field sobriety testing.
Cops added in the report that samples of Charlo’s breath came back with BAC readings of .237 and .231, well over the legal limit of .08. Charlo was charged with two misdemeanors over the ordeal, one count of driving while intoxicated BAC>=0.15 and collision involving damage to vehicle >=$200. On June 1, he cut a deal with prosecutors to close out the case and pleaded guilty to the DWI charge.

His driver’s license was additionally suspended for 90 days. Charlo’s attorney, Kent A. Schaffer, told The Post at the time that his client felt it was the “most expeditious” way to move on from the matter.
Charlo, who’s the twin brother of Jermell Charlo, most recently fought in May 2025, when he defeated Thomas Lamanna by TKO.
